John Stewart has passed away

January 19, 2008: John passed on this morning in San Diego in the city where he was born. We've lost the song poet of our generation and he's left us much too soon. John had been re-energized of late, recording a new album last month and thinking about the next Fantasy Camp in August. He spent the week with Nick Reynolds and his wife listening to the recent concert releases, singing the old songs together and sharing many memories.

After a great evening Thursday he was suddenly stricken. His friends and family gathered quickly for support, but he left us all this morning. He's given us all a lifetime of music and although we will miss him terribly he will live on in all of us. Our thoughts are with his wife Buffy and his children and grandchildren who have just lost their hero.




Attraction/Imposter Pete Thomas worked with John in the 1970's.

It's sad that this John Stewart is dead, but I didn't look at the title very closely, and you made my heart skip a beat. I'm extra glad that Jon Stewart is still among the living...
